Candida: You don't need to be HIV + to have a fungal mouth infection. Other conditions that may lower your ability to fight of fungal infections includes using a steroid inhaler, being immunosuppressed for transplants, autoimmune disorders. Drug side effect of dry membranes (xerostomia) is misdx for this.
